29' Gulf Gulf 29

1983 Gulf 29 is a Bill Garden designed pilothouse sloop with excellent sailing manners and a strongly built handlaid FG hull. This boat has only been in fresh water. These boats are very distinctive and draw attention wherever they go. This model has only an outside wheel steering station and no interior steering station, which means more interior cabin space. The cockpit has a full Sunbrella enclosure (new 2012), so running the boat from the cockpit in foul weather is comfortable.
Overall length is 29 feet, waterline length is 25.3 feet with 7500 lbs displacement, 3200# ballast, and 5 2 draft with a fin keel and spade rudder. Beam is 9.33 feet and sail area is 375 sq.ft.

Going aft from the bow, it has a V-berth forward, hanging locker and drawers opposite the head with compositing toilet, sink, shower drain, and cabinet.
